Just finished installing 450 watt solar power system at the shack, fingers crossed that it will work.

Nice work. That should work well. I joined a solar farm this past year and hope to be carbon free this season

Nice job. You will enjoy the benefits. We used a small solar trickle charger to run a tank sensor in the woods last year and it kept the battery charged without any concerns. This is were LED bulbs are a benefit.

I have 36 panels on my house. The sugarhouse receives power through my house and the solar. It definitely helps me. We just had two Tesla batteries installed at the house and they will power the sugarhouse too.

Nice, I have 6240 watts at my sugarhouse but it is net metered, my excess is credited to my home bill.
